power and ground planes do not radiate directly into adjacent
layers which carry analog power and ground.
OUTPUT NOISE
Noise is specified in two ways: Spot Noise or Output Noise
Density is the RMS sum of all noise sources, measured at
the regulator output, at a specific frequency (measured with
a 1Hz bandwidth). This type of noise is usually plotted on a
curve as a function of frequency. Total Output Noise or
Broad-Band Noise is the RMS sum of spot noise over a
specified bandwidth, usually several decades of frequencies.

Attention should be paid to the units of measurement. Spot
noise is measured in units µV/root-Hz or nV/root-Hz and total
output noise is measured in µV(rms)
The primary source of noise in low-dropout regulators is the
internal reference. Noise can be reduced in two ways: by in-
creasing the transistor area or by increasing the current drawn
by the internal reference. Increasing the area will decrease
the chance of fitting the die into a smaller package. Increasing
the current drawn by the internal reference increases the total
supply current (ground pin current).
